Mourning Madiba

Have to lead this week with a quick post about the death of Nelson Mandela .... a story that will be lead on every news report this week, and many blogs will tackle, so as usual I won't waste readers time or patience discussing his life or achievements.

Nelson Mandela 18 July 1918 - 5 December 2013

What I will therefore mention is a slant that some may not discuss, which is because of his legendary ability to forgive those who had sinned against him, his brief one term as President was possibly the only time in black African history that there was genuine hope of a Black African Government, that was free of corruption. Sadly that was not to stay that way and the A.N.C is now a corrupt organisation.

So what if the Boers and other whites had shown some foresight, and handed over power in the 1970's or 1980's, and allowed him two or three terms in power as President, steering both the country and perhaps more importantly the political A.N.C and keeping the government clean ..... the rainbow dream might have become reality ..... its only speculation, but a real 'What If' indeed.

Greedy and Money Grabbing Africa

Why is that whenever you gets news out of Africa, if its not about violence or mayhem, it invariably involves demanding money?

Last week Ministers from 10 African countries met to demand billions of dollars in compensation for Africa because of damage caused by global warming. This was to be paid by whites (and maybe the Japanese).

Then this week came the news that a group of South Africans are taking legal action against companies in the US (Barclays, Daimler, Ford, Fujitsu, General Motors, IBM, Rheinmetall and UBS) who they have accused of aiding and abetting South Africa's former apartheid regime.

Part of the claims, include the fact that the companies produced parts for vehicles which were used to carry out the assassinations of liberation movement activists, and or unprovoked shootings of black people during the apartheid years. I am mildly surprised that all the others e.g. Tyre manufacturers, petrol companies etc are not included in these ridiculous claims ...... in fact why not sue the manufacturers of chains for their part in slavery .... oh too late, its already going through the US courts.

The greedy little bleeders (the lawyers), aren't messing around, the the 26 complainants in the case are hoping to get up to $400bn in damages from the companies. Yes $400 billion! The annual GDP of South Africa is a mere $282.6 billion.....

If they win, and were granted anything like that amount, all these companies would immediately go bust, and about a million people would instantly become unemployed (with several million more to follow) ....... but hey, at least 26 blacks and their lawyers would be well off, with $15 billion each, and that's all that matters in the PC world..

Political Correctness An Insidious Danger

The final Blog of year can be a tricky thing ..... is it optimism, or pessimism, or a mix that is the appropriate tone ... do you look forward or backward?

No PC Views

I have thought a little about this and decided to talk about the subject that concerns me most at the moment .... surprisingly its not the rise of Islam and increasing Dhimmitude of the UK, because if we are too stupid as a society to stop this happening, then maybe we deserve to let our Western civilisation slip away.
